This is
my painting, Hockey Monument. Unlike most of my sports’ paintings, I was
interested in painting the figure with color temperature, light and shadow.
This modeling does not contribute to the movement of the hockeyplayer. While most shapes of the figure are diagonal,
the blurred edges are limited. The background is primarily made up of
horizontal shapes. These art elements do
not contribute to movement. My usual
objective is to achieve a feeling of movement with my figures.

This is a digital painting using mainly traditional oil painting
techniques and a painterly approach. I used virtual brushes and paints on
coarse cotton canvas (Corel Painter 12 and Wacom Intuos5 drawing pen and
tablet). I worked with mainly impasto and oil brushes. My primary technique was painting wet into wet.
I also glazed transparent paint over dry paint primarily over the shadow and
cast shadow shapes.

This is
my painting, Football Rush. I wanted to convey the gesture and movement
of the running back. Movement is
conveyed by the diagonal shapes of the figure.
The right foot’s toes only touch the ground. The space between heel and ground, cast shadow
implies movement. I also blurred the outer edges of the figure. My sculptural modeling of the figure with
light and shadow does not contribute to movement. This figure is at the front of the picture plane; this adds animation to the figure of the football player.

This is
my painting, Beached Sail Boats.I had fun painting this colorful work. It
reminded me of fauvist paintings.Fauvismwas
the style of a few early twentieth century French artists.
These artists stressed painterlytechniques and strong color; not the representational
style of the impressionists.Fauvism lasted
between 1900 and 1910. Henri Matisse and Andre Derain were major artists of
this movement. My above painting is representational and not in the fauvist
style. I liked the strong painterly color work in my painting.

My main colors were complementaryhues (orange and blue, red and green). My focal point is the 2 boats on the beach; I
used complementarycolors painting the 2 boats – red and green for greater contrast. There are a
number of triangularshapes in my painting. Sails are not routinely raised when
boats are on the shore but I wanted to make the shapes more attractive. I also
used the masts along with the 3 boats to create rightangles. These right angles result in repetition,
harmony and strength.
